How do I add ellipses if content leaks from the Android layout?
For example: I have a very large text in my ActionBar , and instead of having to decrease it in size, I want it to add ellipsis if there is a layout leak, for example from "First Aid" to "First Soc ... "
TextView has an attribute called ellipsize , which, second documentation , allows the addition of ... automatically if the word is too large, rather than breaking in the middle.
In your case, use the android:ellipsize="end" attribute on your TextView , along with android:singleLine="true"
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv_test"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true" />
